The 7 food chains you have to try in Toronto

When we travel, sometimes we usually end up in chains we already know, such as McDonald's or Starbucks; However, when traveling it is more convenient, and considered, to consume local products in order to support the economy of the place we visited.

For your next trip to Toronto, Canada we leave you a list of what places to try to have an authentic experience with Canadian companies and that offer affordable prices.

Here, the 7 food chains you have to try in Toronto.

Second cup

One of the coffee shops that you will find most frequently in the streets of Toronto, with headquarters nearby, in Mississauga, Ontario, offers delicious seasonal options this fall: ‘The Spice Collection’; among them, the Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte, the Caramel Spice Tea Latte, or the traditional Apple Cider. We are also fans of the Honey Vanilla Tea Latte or the Toasted Coconut Flash Cold Brew.

To start the mornings well, try their delicious smoothies; such as Almond Date (almond and date) or Green Mango Boost (with mango, spinach, kale, banana and protein).

AyW

This hamburger chain is super accessible, tasty and sustainable (with beef raised without hormones or steroids, from selected ranches in Canada, the United States, Australia and New Zealand). It is a must try their famous AyW Root Beer (made with natural cane sugar and natural flavors), and you can accompany your burgers with french fries, sweet potato potatoes, onion rings or the traditional poutine (Québec dish that takes potatoes, gravy and cheese in grain).

We also suggest you give your vegetarian hamburger a chance: Beyond (it is made from beets, coconut oil, yellow peas, pomegranate, mung beans, rice, potatoes and apples). A complete delight!

Booster Juice

For a healthy start to the day, visit this Canadian chain that offers delicious natural juices, smoothies and protein shakes.

We recommend ‘Canadian Colada’ (pineapple, frozen vanilla yogurt, coconut), Matcha Monsoon (with matcha, almond milk, frozen vanilla yogurt) or the Original (strawberry, banana, orange and yogurt with probiotics).

Freshii

For a complete meal, meet this chain whose headquarters are in Toronto and which has now expanded to other countries.

With the motto Eat. Energize (Come. Energize) Freshii has fresh and nutritious food options that provide energy; as slow-burning carbohydrates rich in fiber, essential fats and lean proteins. The menu includes foods such as quinoa, green wrap, (gluten free), bowls, soups, juices (fruit and vegetable extracts) and varied salads.

The Great Canadian Bagel

This company has been proudly serving Canadians since 1993. They have 24 varieties of bagels that are baked every day; among them, natural, sesame seeds, cheddar, or chocolate chips.

To accompany the bagels they have 21 flavors of cream cheese, and the fun concept of ‘breakfast all day’. Their menu items also include sandwiches, soups, salads and custom drinks.

Pizza Pizza

Because eating should also be fun, venture into this chain with headquarters in Toronto, but you'll also find around the Province of Ontario. They offer affordable prices and alternatives with fewer calories, such as pizza with cauliflower dough.

We suggest the Chicken Bruschetta pizzas (grilled chicken, roasted garlic, Italian seasoning, bruschetta, parmesan and mozzarella), the Canadian Eh! (pepperoni, fresh mushrooms, bacon crumble and mozzarella cheese) and as supplements, there are several salad options (including Greek), calzones and quesadillas.

Tim Hortons

No visit to Canada would be complete without the rich donuts of this famous Canadian chain founded in 1964. In 2014, when they celebrated their 50th anniversary, they recreated their first store in Toronto, respecting even the original prices of the sixties.

Their donuts are their badge and they prepare them every day, we recommend you – obviously – try the maple, as well as their Timbits (small balls of donut dough). This season they have a very good pumpkin donut and we highly recommend the blueberry donut.
